455: Taibai Xinmi (two-in-one, please subscribe and ask for monthly tickets)

Inside the room, Lin Shiming digested the memory fragments, and the smile on his face grew wider.

Having obtained the ningjin fruit tree, the main objective of this trip had been achieved.

Next was to collect some interest from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

He didn't want to get involved in the muddy waters of the Eastern Domain right now, but he also didn't mind making them a little murkier.

With a plan in mind, Lin Shiming felt extremely at ease.

Inside the Soul Suppressing Tower, a large mass of pure blue Soul Power could be seen, extremely pure and devoid of any Impurities, but it was continuously dissipating.

Even the Soul Suppressing Tower could only slow down the dissipation, not completely retain it.

However, even so, this was still a significant Opportunity for Lin Shiming.

Lin Shiming circulated the Soul Fusion Art of the Soul Fusion Secret Canon.

As he formed a series of spiritual Seals, a transparent Divine Sense spiritual net appeared again. The spiritual net passed through the mass of pure blue Soul Power, beginning to filter these pure Divine Soul powers, and also stripping away the remaining consciousness and memory fragments.

This process was extremely complex.

Of course, this was also the power of the Soul Fusion Secret Canon.

Otherwise, if an ordinary person dared to absorb it casually, they would end up with jumbled memories and a loss of sanity.

Of course, this spiritual art consumed a great deal of mental energy. After the spiritual net filtered layer by layer, the originally huge Soul Power mass shrank to the size of a washbasin.

It had shrunk by nearly eighty percent.

But this Divine Soul power became even purer and more transparent, carrying a considerable pressure.

It subtly made Lin Shiming feel a sense of dread.

Lin Shiming concentrated, took a deep breath, and began to form Seals again. At this moment, it was truly the Soul Fusion Art.

The Divine Sense Weapon longsword appeared in the Soul Suppressing Tower, absorbing these newly added Divine Soul powers onto the surface of the sword, slowly seeping into the longsword. This seepage would once again remove Impurities, completing the initial Soul Fusion.

Only after subsequent adaptation would the Divine Sense Weapon further refine the absorbed Divine Soul power, and only then would his Divine Sense truly increase.

Absorbing Soul Power was also a tedious process, but this tedium was something Lin Shiming greatly enjoyed.

He could feel his Divine Sense and Divine Soul improving almost every moment.

When Lin Shiming opened his eyes, three more days had passed.

His Divine Soul had finished absorbing, and a look of lingering satisfaction was still on his face.

He couldn't help but release his Divine Sense, sweeping it across the surrounding sea, and found that it had increased by nearly twenty percent.

This made his mood even better.

In just a few days, his Divine Sense had increased so much. If this terrifying method were to spread, he didn't know what kind of shock it would cause.

However, he then smiled bitterly and shook his head. While this method was fast, its biggest drawback was that it consumed a lot of Golden Core Demon Kings!

Of course, if it were the Divine Soul of a Human Race Cultivator, the increase might be even greater.

Lin Shiming cast aside those unrealistic thoughts and returned to the present. The strengthening of his Divine Sense could also help him control more Magic Treasures.

But his most important goal was to improve his Body Cultivator strength and better activate the Star Bead.

For this type of Spirit Treasure, the power manifested by the second layer of the Treasure Unlocking Art was even greater.

For example, the power unleashed by the blood demon disc that day was still vivid in Lin Shiming's memory.

That was definitely not the power that the first layer of the Treasure Unlocking Art could unleash!

Lin Shiming didn't get up. In his hand, another Storage Pouch appeared. This Storage Pouch was extremely ancient and did not belong to the Octopus Demon King.

Instead, it was a treasure left behind in the Secret Realm Immortal Cave, which had been plundered by the Octopus Demon King.

Now, it had also fallen into Lin Shiming's hands. The Demon King was killed by the Yan Yang Sword, so there was no need to share it with Nine Heavens Hermit.

The Yan Yang Sword was useless for him, so it naturally benefited Lin Shiming.

The Storage Pouch was similar to a Storage Pouch, a spatial treasure, but the space inside startled Lin Shiming. It was almost as large as his Small World.

It could even hold an entire mountain Peak.

The only drawback was that it couldn't hold living creatures, but the value of this Storage Pouch was already immense.

With hope, Lin Shiming opened the Storage Pouch, but it was empty. All the Spirit Medicine were gone. The Spirit Herb Garden's Spirit Medicine had long been ruined by the Octopus Demon King and its descendants.

He only saw rows of Jade Slips.

These Jade Slips were also incredibly ancient, clearly from a very distant era.

Lin Shiming even saw that some of the Jade Slips had broken edges, which made him feel great heartache.

He picked up the Jade Slips and examined them one by one. The first Jade Slip recorded an ancient Cultivation diary.

The first page prominently displayed the four characters: Tai Bai Sword Palace!

From this perspective, Immortal Master Qiuhong was likely also from Tai Bai Sword Palace.

What made Lin Shiming sigh was that the first Jade Slip recorded the secret history and life story of a Taiyi Immortal Master.

After reading most of it, Lin Shiming picked up the second Jade Slip.

The second Jade Slip also recorded the deeds of an Immortal Master. Lin Shiming suddenly had a strange thought: could these also be factual Jade Slips from Tai Bai Sword Palace promoting the deeds of Immortal Masters?

Ten Jade Slips in a row were like this, which made Lin Shiming astonished by the strength of Tai Bai Sword Palace, but also somewhat bored.

Fortunately, by the eleventh Jade Slip, several Pill Formulas appeared. These Pill Formulas were all Fourth Rank Pill Formulas, and there was also one Fifth Rank Pill Formula called Snow Soul Pill, a secret Spirit Pill Formula for advancing the cultivation of Golden Core Cultivators.

The main ingredient used was a cold-attributed Spirit Medicine of over three thousand years.

For Lin Shiming, this was extremely significant.

Although he had given all the five-thousand-year Spirit Medicine in his Ziyang Pagoda to the Yan Yang Sword, he still had many three-thousand-year Spirit Medicine.

Having a Pill Formula was naturally better than simply absorbing Spirit Medicine.

After the first Jade Slip, there were many autobiographies and Cultivation travelogues.

After reading several more Jade Slips, Lin Shiming discovered an Ice-attributed Cultivation Technique. This Cultivation Technique was precisely Immortal Master Qiuhong's Cultivation Technique, the Great Cold Weak Water Scripture, an Earth Rank Low Grade Cultivation Technique, which could be Cultivated to the Late Golden Core Stage.

It also recorded many of Immortal Master Qiuhong's Cultivation insights. If the Lin family had an Ice Spiritual Root Cultivator, they would have ready-made insights from Qi Cultivation to Golden Core, and their Breakthrough speed would probably be even faster than Lin Shiyuan's Cultivation of the Nine Nether Profound Wind Scripture.

This made Lin Shiming overjoyed again. The Lin family's only missing Ice-attributed Cultivation Technique had now been collected.

The Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques had also reached five in total.

After the Cultivation Techniques, there were many useless Jade Slips, and soon he reached the last Jade Slip.

The information in the Jade Slip, however, shocked Lin Shiming immensely.

It did not contain text, but a scene.

Before his eyes, two men with Immortal Qi and tied hair were arguing fiercely in a pavilion!

Both were wearing the Tai Bai Sword Palace sword robes, which were completely plain.

If Lin Shiming hadn't understood Tai Bai Sword Palace, it would have been fine, but having read so many Jade Slips, these were clearly the highest-grade invisible sword robes of Tai Bai Sword Palace, which only Grand Elders could wear.

And the only requirement for a Grand Elder of Tai Bai Sword Palace was to become a Soul Transformation Old Ancestor!

"Ten Thousand Swords Mountain is a trap, a trap sufficient to destroy the entire Cultivation world!"

"Only by sealing Ten Thousand Swords Mountain can the Cultivation world develop naturally!"

"Ten Thousand Swords Mountain is an existence even more terrifying than ancient demons..."

"Seal it, it must be sealed..."

"Even if Tai Bai Sword Palace falls silent because of it!"

...The words were few, but they shook Lin Shiming's mind, leaving him standing rooted to the spot, silent for a long time.

Ten Thousand Swords Mountain also had another name, Ten Thousand Swords Graveyard.

And according to what was recorded in this Jade Slip, the Taiyi Sword Grass had probably deceived him, and he had already fallen into Karma.

Lin Shiming thought of the Yan Yang Sword. After the Yan Yang Sword left the Secret Realm, it quickly Advanced from Purple Mansion strength to the Late Golden Core Stage.

If all the swords in Ten Thousand Swords Mountain could do this, then it would indeed be a terrifying disaster.

Lin Shiming didn't believe that the rapid increase in cultivation strength was achieved by cultivating in an instant.

Lin Shiming pondered for a long time. He had originally planned to visit the Tai Bai Sword Palace Small World as soon as possible, but now he hesitated.

He also thought of the Nine Spirits Pagoda. That Nine Spirits Pagoda had always allowed Immortal Master Divine Machine to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, and also served as an interface connecting the Secret Realm and the Small World. Was it merely for the Innate Spirit Treasure?

And could the Innate Spirit Treasure necessarily fall into his hands?

Lin Shiming only felt that things that had seemed somewhat clear before became blurry again.

Why did the Innate Spirit Treasure appear? Why did Tai Bai Sword Palace Seal Ten Thousand Swords Mountain?

According to the Taiyi Sword Grass's hint, Tai Bai Sword Palace was once an obscure small sect... Lin Shiming only felt a headache coming on, and looking inside his body, at the Taiyi Sword Grass nurtured by the Sword Nurturing Art, he felt a bit more suspicion.

But the System prompt hadn't sounded.

Lin Shiming pondered for a long time, still unable to figure it out, and finally had no choice but to give up.

Instead of pondering those things, it was better to diligently Cultivate and form his Golden Core as soon as possible.

Having Cultivated a Minor Divine Ability, his chance of Breakthrough to Golden Core was already ten percent higher than ordinary people.

Coupled with the Core Formation Pill, and even his Thousand Wood Spirit Body, he was confident of successfully Breaking Through to Golden Core in one go.

But the prerequisite was that the Core Formation Pill was refined, and Lin Shiming also planned to supply all of the Lin family's Fourth Rank Water Spirit Shell, Red Lotus Pill, and Inference Aura to Lin Shitao.

After much thought, Lin Shiming felt much more at ease and continued to examine the remaining items.

There weren't many remaining treasures, mostly Spirit Ores from the sea, predominantly Fourth Rank and Third Rank Materials.

The most precious were two Fifth Rank Materials, Cold Soul Crystals.

In the future, when Nine Heavens Hermit Breaks Through, he could give them to him for refining Fifth Rank treasures.

Of course, the other party would also need to pay a large amount of contribution points, and it would be best if he owed the Lin family a little!

After coming out of seclusion, Lin Shiming also found Lin Shiyun and the other three. At this moment, all of them were filled with abundant True Essence, and even Lin Shiyun had fully recovered.

And there were only a few days left until the Fourth Rank Ice Flood Dragon's trade fair.

Lin Shiming also took out the purple wind boat, and then the Eternal Night Umbrella, activating both treasures simultaneously and heading towards the distance...

Inside a secluded island, several palaces stood on the island.

A young man with a Flood Dragon tail, wearing golden yellow battle armor, stood at the front of the island, like a majestic general.

And in the seawater, waves surged from time to time, and one Cultivator after another with beast-like features emerged.

In the blink of an eye, they all landed on the shore, each Cultivator carrying a gift.

"Brother Bingfeng, did you capture this battle armor from the Human Race again?"

"Fellow Daoist Bingfeng, has your cultivation Breakthrough again?"

...A string of complimentary words spread, making the man in battle armor visibly pleased, and he responded to everyone.

"A small gain, nothing to mention!"

"Fellow Daoist Gui, this time, we must exchange treasures well!"

...It wasn't until the afternoon, when large swathes of sunlight spilled onto the waves, that the armored man returned to the palace and began the trade fair with extreme satisfaction.

This was the most Yao Race Fellow Daoists he had ever hosted.

However, at this moment, several figures appeared in the waves again.

The man transformed from the Ice Flood Dragon also turned around and asked:

"A few Fellow Daoists are quite unfamiliar. In what sea region did you achieve the Dao?" There was still some vigilance in his eyes.

"We achieved the Dao in Yuhai City!" The leading Cultivator among the four in the waves replied calmly.

These words immediately made the golden-armored man's expression change drastically.

"Fellow Daoist, that's not a good joke!"

Yuhai City was the territory of the Heavenly Demon Sect. He looked at the four people and then realized that two of them were only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, making it impossible for them to have taken a shapeshifting pill.

"Despicable Human Race, how dare you appear in this sea region?"

The Ice Flood Dragon man roared angrily, and then dozens of figures emerged from the palace.

All of them possessed the Aura of Purple Mansion Great Demons, among whom the most powerful were two Snow Pythons, one Blue Jiaolong, and one Red Dragon.

All of them had Late Fourth Rank strength.

However, at this moment, Lin Shiming also took out a huge black banner.

Demonic mist rolled on the banner, and countless hungry ghosts appeared. This was precisely the Evil Ghost Banner that Lin Shiming had seized in the Ziyang Secret Realm.

On the Evil Ghost Banner, countless Devil Heads swayed.

And beside him, Nine Heavens Hermit also took out a Demonic Cultivator Magic Treasure.

Lin Shiming even let out a cackling laugh.

Finally, the Evil Ghost Banner, covering the sky and obscuring the sun, was incredibly terrifying.

More than a dozen Purple Mansion Great Demons also unleashed all their techniques.

However, while Lin Shiming and Nine Heavens Hermit displayed the Evil Ghost Banner, secretly they used three Demonic Blood Needles, plus the Five Metal Beast Ring.

And the somewhat effective Divine Sense Weapon.

With the Divine Sense Sword, Lin Shiming's advantage against these Purple Mansion Great Demons was simply too great.

In the blink of an eye, several Great Demons suffered damage to their Divine Souls, becoming slow and sluggish in their movements. Lin Shiming's body also rushed into their midst, and the iron fist formed by the Star Bead landed on the several Peak Fourth Rank Great Demons led by the Ice Flood Dragon.

And nearby, a Formation had been set up at some unknown time.

Wailing demonic mist surged out, and Devil Heads appeared in the Void Realm.

When those Purple Mansion Great Demons saw the Great Demons led by the Ice Flood Dragon perish on the spot within a few breaths, they all roared and began to flee in all directions.

Lin Shiming also devoured them one by one with the Evil Ghost Banner.

The Evil Ghost Banner, a Magic Treasure from the Blood Cultivation Sect, naturally had the effect of refining Devil Heads. Although Lin Shiming was not a Demonic Cultivator, simple transformation was still possible.

However, it would waste some Divine Soul, but once the Divine Soul was absorbed and fell into the Evil Ghost Banner, it would become more real.

Finally, only one Profound Water Dark Turtle escaped.

And Lin Shiming watched the fleeing figure without the slightest concern.

"Next place, continue!" Lin Shiming's expression was cold, feeling the limits of his left hand, and he swallowed several Medicinal Pills refined by Lin Shitao.

He put away all the Magic Treasures and Flood Dragon Yao Beast Materials, and the Third Rank Medium Grade Demonic Mist Formation was detonated one by one by the four of them.

With a terrifying explosion, the black demonic mist dispersed.

The figures of the four also disappeared from the island.
